MIR. BLAINE's PROGRAMME.
A Senator who Thinks His Calling
and Election Sure.

and Election Sure.
Says Mr.. MacBride In his Washington
special to the Cincinnati Enquirer of satur-
day last:
When the good ship which bears him
(Blaine) over touches ut Queenstown, can
Gee in my minds eye the Maine candidate
debarking on the lighter, which sails up the
River Lee to Cork, in Ireland. Mr.. Blaine is
not unknown to the Sons OF st. Patrick. II
they call upon him in delegations, he can
sympathize with Home Rule. The very
processes OF English politics have forced
Gladstone to the Irish, and before Mr..
Blaine reaches his native heath again the
great English Premier and the son OF Maine
will have had a friendly meeting. II any
one thinks such combination OF events
will not have favorable effect upon the
large Irish vote In this country he does not
read Alright the light before him.
The Republican party now seems to be
ticking a new start. Let me best Illustrate
what mean by recalling conversation l
sas. Plumb is an Ohio man by birth, OF
sturdy sense and keen scent. Said he;
"The National Banks, the Trust Com
panies and such financial corporations have
a desire, think, to quit the Republican
party. 1t is from this quarter that one
hears that cleveland ls etrOng as PRESIDENT
with the business classes. These corporate
interests care nothing for political princi-
pies so long as they can be protected in
| their interests. Now, as they show de-
sire to go from the party In peace, am In
| favor OF letting them go. The natural al
| lance Of the Republican party, In view OF
its policy Of protection, is with the wage
workers, and with that class new alliances
| are being made.n
Now this was so much In the nature OF a
new platform upon which Blaine could well
stand that said:
"Senator, do you think Blaine will be the
| candidate OF the Republican party ="
at Is all with him. was his answer. "If
Mr.. Blaine wants the nomination he can
have 1t almost by acclama,ion."
| "Think you he could be elected ~ con-
| tinutd.
| "Yes, be would be elected against any
| nominee Of the Democracy. There are two
divisions within each party, which are dis
tracing. refer to the Labor party and to
the Prohibition party. The Prohibition
| contingent would be at the expense OF the
| Republican vote, but 1t would bs much
| more than Offset by the vote which would
be taken away from the Democracy by the
| Labor plIty.n

The most serious break In the canal
that has occurred for several years occurred
Sunday evening at Little Monocacy, about
$50 yards below the aqueduct over the Big
Monocacy river, from the effects Of the
heavy rairs of the past few days. The break
is fully eighty feet long and from alteen to
twenty feet below the bed Of the canal.
President Baughman visited the scene yes
terday and put large force at work to re.
pair the damage, and says the canal will
probably be open for navigation In ten or
fifteen days. ON the nine-mile level sew
eral sand bars have been found, but they
have cauGel no damage as yet.
